Kim Ji Soo Returns to the Spotlight with Viu Philippines’ “Love, Siargao”

Kim Ji Soo is returning to the spotlight through Viu Philippines’ new Original series “Love, Siargao,” a romantic drama set against the island charm and emotional pull of one of the country’s most loved destinations.

Premiering this June 2026 exclusively on Viu Philippines, the series stars Alden Richards and Nadine Lustre as Jao and Kara, two people whose lives change after arriving in Siargao.

At the center of the story is the island’s mysterious “Siargao curse,” a legend that affects both characters in different ways.

A Love Story Shaped by Siargao

“Love, Siargao” follows Kara, who finds herself unable to leave the island after stepping onto its shores.

Jao arrives in Siargao carrying his own heartbreak after his relationship suddenly ends, making him another person caught in the island’s emotional pull.

As their paths cross, Jao and Kara begin to navigate the uncertainty of modern romance, timing, healing, and unexpected connection.

The series uses Siargao not only as a setting, but as a force that shapes the characters’ choices, fears, and possibilities.

Kim Ji Soo Adds a New Layer to the Story

One of the key highlights of the series is the participation of Korean actor Kim Ji Soo.

Known for his screen presence and emotionally layered roles, Kim Ji Soo brings a fresh dynamic to the ensemble and adds another emotional thread to the story.

His character is expected to explore meaningful relationships, personal growth, and emotional challenges that deepen the series beyond its central romance.

For longtime fans and new viewers, “Love, Siargao” offers a chance to see Kim Ji Soo in a story that blends romance, island life, and character-driven drama.

Alden Richards and Nadine Lustre Lead the Series

Alden Richards and Nadine Lustre lead the series as Jao and Kara, two characters brought together by heartbreak, fate, and the strange pull of Siargao.

Their story reflects how love can arrive during moments of uncertainty, especially when people are still learning how to let go, begin again, and understand what they truly want.

Set against the island’s beaches, waves, and laid-back atmosphere, “Love, Siargao” builds a romantic world shaped by both beauty and emotional conflict.

A Strong Supporting Cast

The series also features a wide supporting cast that includes Coleen Garcia, Kyline Alcantara, Gab Lagman, Kakki Teodoro, Adrian Lindayag, AZ Martinez, Vince Maristela, and Christopher Diwata.

Each character brings a different perspective to the story, adding humor, tension, friendship, and emotional texture to the series.

Together, the ensemble helps create a fuller picture of relationships, community, and the many ways people experience love.

“Alon” Sets the Mood

Adding to the series’ romantic atmosphere is its official love theme song, “Alon,” performed by JL.

The song reflects the emotional rhythm of the series, from longing and healing to uncertainty and new beginnings.

Like the waves of Siargao, “Alon” mirrors the journey of Jao and Kara as they face the unpredictable movement of love, timing, and fate.

A Romance Built Around Place, Timing, and Healing

“Love, Siargao” brings together a strong cast, a popular island destination, and a story built around the emotional timing of love.
